Personal Reading List
Books I'm currently reading or have finished. Qidian's recommendations have a hard time catering to different tastes, so I hope everyone will make more lists of their own. That way, we can share good books and stay out of reading slumps.
Wang Cai Doesn’t Like Catnip
There won't be many recommendations, but I promise they're all good. This list updates slowly because I have to find books I can actually stick with first. (=￣ω￣=)

Three Flavors Book House
Light Fantasy Infinite-Flow: A Record of Roaming Through Multiple Worlds
I focus on infinite worlds, reincarnation and world-hopping, status-panel stories, wizardry and the occult, Cthulhu Mythos, urban legends in Tokyo, and fantasy and sci-fi. I prefer web novels with solid worldbuilding, carefully crafted settings, a comfortable pace, and a light-novel feel. No mindless, cookie-cutter beginner fiction. I collect gems that I follow for the long haul and enjoy revisiting.
Black Library Backups
A place to put books. The old list didn't have enough room, so here we are. Come see what you think. The focus is on fun reads, especially fantasy involving dragons and the Forgotten Realms. The fantasy section on Qidian has really gone downhill.
My Personal Picks from Qidian
No chasing trending hits here, just hidden gems I've read word by word and truly loved. I picked each one for myself, with readers who love stories as much as I do in mind. I hope we'll meet here and share an exciting journey.
My Top Recommendations: Myriad Worlds, Fantasy, and Cultivation
I look for smooth, engaging stories, mostly fantasy and cultivation novels and anime fanfiction, with a preference for ongoing series. I once wanted to become a writer myself, so I like to give authors a boost. If I haven't read a book, I'll mark it as unread. Books that stop updating will be removed from the list. Thanks for being here. I'm out of things to read, so please recommend me some books!!!

A Picky Veteran Reader's List: Promising Serials Destined for Greatness
Highly Recommended: 1. Beast in the Circle 2. The God of Human Calamities 3. Night Without Borders 4. My Folk Customs Game Console 5. I Am the Gun God 6. After the Great Dao Perished 7. Looking North to the Riverlands 8. Falling into the Cretaceous 9. The Wizard Begins with Synthesized Gems This list only includes books that are still being serialized. As long as a book is good, I don't care how often it updates. I mainly read xianxia, but I sometimes include excellent books from other genres,
Level-Up Stories with a Little Spark
A collection of novels with a few real bright spots. The selection is varied, including showbiz, urban fiction, xianxia, and fan fiction. At heart, though, these are all progression stories, where characters advance one step at a time, with a greater emphasis on logical plots. If you'd rather not switch off your brain before reading, give these a try.

A Veteran Reader’s Picks
This is based on my personal taste, and mostly features novels that aren't amateurish. Liking a work is highly subjective, so I won't give ratings. I'll just describe how each one made me feel. I really hope I can recommend some good reads to everyone. (I'm a little speechless. Do people really copy comments from reading lists? Seriously.) Out of touch: My Reborn Self Has No Vision

Your writing isn't bad, the story background design is outstanding, and the power system construction is ingenious, but I beg you, please stop writing about conspiracies and intrigues! You've done it in several books already. You should realize that your intelligence is only average. Instead of wasting time on conspiracies, you should use it for adventure, monster hunting, and leveling up with potions—those are your strengths!
Book reviews by a 12-year veteran bookworm
Reviewer: Rating B. A system novel where the protagonist kills and robs to accumulate cultivation resources, leveling up and continuing the journey in a cannibalistic cultivation world. The first few chapters depict the cultivation world as chaotic yet orderly, a survival-of-the-fittest scenario, somewhat satirical of reality—this is its first characteristic.
Have you ever cultivated immortality? Some of this is just random writing and assumptions.
A brief discussion
I've read parts of several books in the Cuckoo Fairy series. The most memorable part was probably the hundred-odd pages of the Immortal Registers, and the section about the abbots and Taoist priests of the White Bone Temple eating other Taoists—it was astonishing! I've also read some of the later books, but I didn't really feel compelled to finish them.
The mountain spirits and monsters in this book have the atmosphere of a dark myth. The character of Uncle "Taylor" is very realistic. Everyone who enters the Immortal Market on the same ship has their own tragic fate, similar to people who smuggled themselves to Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s, thinking that Hong Kong was full of gold, but in reality, they were sold as human traffickers.
Book Review: "The Unorthodox Path of the Immortals" - A Subversion of Conventions in the Bizarre World of Xianxia
While browsing books on Qidian, I came across "Fangxian Waidao". I originally just wanted to read it casually, but I ended up reading all the updated chapters. This is probably what is meant by a "hidden gem"—it doesn't rely on flashy gimmicks, but rather on solid settings and interesting narratives to create a unique flavor for the eerie fantasy genre.
A Brief View on Bugu's Novel Talk
Every story starts off spectacularly, only to crumble horribly later. The Immortal Records depict the decay and evolution of a world. Before its decay, the world was divided into two regions by supreme magical power. The protagonist resided in a secluded realm (Immortal Garden) within the decaying region, a place where predecessors sought to create a new heaven.
Shocking! Over a million words, and the comments section is mostly full of praise.
Most of the criticism is also about the slow update speed. Has he really taken this step?!
What time is it?
I've been following several of your novels these past few days, and they're all quite good. Chinese cultivation novels should incorporate methods from traditional Taoist theory, and the three golden chapters are practically perfect. I have a few small suggestions for the author to consider carefully.
It's better than before.
This author's work, starting with their first book, consistently begins with a brilliant first map, boasting excellent plot, character development, and a solid 10,000 subscribers. However, once the first map is completed, the quality gradually declines, becoming unreadable by the middle of the second map.
